Accident can be happen anywhere in the world. We pray for safety.
We need to give the organizer a chance to make the running event better. 😊
I ran this Pahang Marathon. It is not bad. Every 2.5km to 3km, there are water points. Routes design for the marathon are challenging, lot of up and down slopes at the last 6km. Volunteers are helpful.
The only problem for the race venue is too far from the city and the last 10km, marathoners ran beside heavy vehicles at the high way which fear runners.
Anyway, I agree.....safety come first.
I wish next year 2019, they will change the marathon routes.

Hot and humid in the afternoon (9/3/2018).
Now, raining to cool down the warm atmosphere.
Race pack collection was great and smooth, the Organizers are helpful. Shuttle buses are provided at Taman Gelora to the new starting point according to the category of races.
